How to make $50's a day on NeoBux. (Not instantly)

[Phopojijo]

Just so you know... your proof really isn't all that -- proofy. One was from its own website... the screenshot could be doctored or from one of the owners... the other two websites looked shady themselves...

There was a money making website that a friend asked if it really worked because he was having a hard time with money. I told him it looks like a scam. Sure enough, they over-billed your credit card. That's not what's going on here... but you know.

Yeah it's almost definitely a scam somehow -- if you look through several of those pages -- you'll see just about every reference to "Scam" is promoting NeoBux -- you might think that's a good thing until you see that every so often they're word-for-word copies. Sooooooo they're almost definitely all FROM NeoBux... which means they have some reason to cover up Google searches for "Neobux Scam"

Most likely they just spammed as many difference sources with press releases to game Google.

I mean it's pretty hard to go down 7 pages of Google and only see blogs and articles about something... and no forum talk what so ever.

It's a Ponzi scheme.

The money that is being "made" is supposedly coming from advertisement clicks, right? But why would any business pay for clicks from such a site? Everybody on the site is clicking away at ads like crazy, but none of them are doing it because they are actually interested in what the ads offer, so the traffic is worthless to a business. So, what does that mean? The ads aren't legit. They're self-sponsored and/or referrals to other pay-to-click sites. They are not making any significant amount of money from their "ads", yet they are still "paying" their members to click on them.

So, how does the owner make money? He makes it from people who deposit their own money so they can rent referrals and upgrade their membership faster. People hear about how great the site is from other members who have made real money, so they feel safe to deposit their own money to speed up their profits. This money is enough for the owner to cover day-to-day cashout requests from members. Since they are not really making money from the ads, though, but are paying members for clicking on them, they do not have enough money to cover all of their members' account balances.

That is where the problem arises. When the site is popular and new registrations are plentiful, the site runs fine and dandy. When new registrations eventually slow down, though (and they will...they have to...the number of potential customers is not infinite), there won't be enough new members coming in investing the money which is used to cover the cashout requests, and older members' account balances will continue to increase. There will be a liquidity crisis, and more and more people will start requesting cashouts which they can't fulfill, until the entire thing completely collapses.

The fact that some people actually make money from it does not mean it isn't a scam/sham. That's how Ponzi schemes work; in the early stages, some people will actually make money from it, and rave about how great it is and entice new members to join. It can't go on forever, though. NeoBux has lasted this long (a little over a year I think?) due to it having a better structure and setup than past click-to-pay scams, but that is only slowing down the inevitable collapse which is to come. Basically, if you know how to make money in their system AND you are lucky enough to withdraw it before it collapses, then it can be good for you. If you don't get so lucky, though, you can really get fucked.




Oh and FWIW I've never heard of this site before I read this thread. I just did a little research.

These websites are just a huge waste of time and a pain in the ass when you actually want to get a pay out. I'd rather just get a job and make more money by doing less easy stuff for 8 hours a day, beats clicking ads for 8 hours a day.

It works great for the people on top, and everyone below them just does the work that gets the people on top more money. Yes, some people will make hundreds of dollars. That doesn't mean that you will.

If it relies on other people, regardless of what you think it is, it IS a pyramid scheme. They all work the same exact way, and anyone who falls for it on the bottom gets shit on by the person on top.

NeoBux (of the user using NeoBux) does not rely on other people, as you can rent referrals.

What I meant above was that you don't need to sign up, other people that have already signed up ARE the referrals. Signing up just helps the others out.

If you'd read my post you'd see that it actually does rely on other people. They just don't make it obvious. The whole notion that outside advertisers pay the site for hosting their ads and bringing them traffic is not true. The only real money going into the system is coming from people who invest their own money in an attempt to speed up their profits. Therefore, anyone who is making money on the site is doing so off the backs of other members.

This is just another scheme site. Locked.

Please don't post this kind of stuff anymore.

Before you PM me about SnaF locking this CodeBrain, I was about to too - this thread wasn't going anywhere.
